What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers , otherwise known as facial fillers, are injectables that aid in the reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face. Dermal fillers have temporary results that can last a few months up to a year. This choice of cosmetics is good for adults who want a significant reduction in wrinkles, little to no downtime, and immediate results.

What is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is a revolutionary way of facial rejuvenation. Your own fat is taken from an area of your body where there is excess and then it is then gently injected into regions of the face that you want to plump or contour. This procedure is beneficial to adult men and women who are seeking a more youthful appearance. A very small amount of fat is taken from your abdomen or thighs and then purified and injection in small syringes back into your face. This procedure adds a significant amount of volume to your face.

What is Secret™ RF?
